The Chelsea Flower Show

This year’s Chelsea Flower Show highlights the growing trend of consumers aspiring to create their own personal sanctuaries, seeking to establish healing and relaxation spaces within their gardens. With 75%¹ of British adults having access to a private garden and a further 87%¹ believing gardens and green spaces benefit their state of mind, how can we enhance their gardening experience with music?

Music is a versatile tool for self-care and relaxation. Taking the time to listen to calming music, meditative sounds, or nature-inspired compositions can help people unwind, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of well-being. So, it makes sense to introduce it into your business to create a more pleasant and enjoyable experience for both your customers and employees.

From our recent survey, we discovered that 87%² of people think playing background music creates a positive working environment along with 93%² agreeing that music can create a calming working environment, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety.

By combining music with the natural environment of your garden centre or horticultural business, work can be transformed into a therapeutic activity for your staff. Playing soothing or uplifting melodies could create a calming atmosphere and provide an extra layer of entertainment and stimulation while performing tasks like planting, weeding, or pruning.
